Feras weapons can be found as treasure on creatures or sold at various merchant events. Feras weapons all possess lightning flares and flare on every swing except when the flares downgrade. A "fresh" feras weapon can be very deadly in anyone's hands, provided one can obtain the offensive strength to land even a small hit on the target.

Effectiveness

Feras weapons are known to be very deadly, albeit, temporary weapons. Nearly any strike from a feras weapon results in a blast of lightning with severe injury or possible instant death to the target. They are favored weapons of assassins, as not only will the weapon damage the target normally, a fresh weapon has a very high possibility of killing or severely wounding the target. A flare from a fresh feras weapon can do up to 70 damage.

Messaging

  • The feras dagger suddenly hisses and crackles as small fingers of lightning escape from the metal! - The weapon does not flare. The weapon, instead, degrades its flares.
  • As the blow lands, the feras weapon unleashes a severe smiting of lightning! - powerful flares
  • As the blow lands, the feras weapon unleashes a damaging blast of lightning! - moderate to powerful flares
  • As the blow lands, the feras weapon unleashes a heavy surge of lightning! - moderate flares
  • As the blow lands, the feras weapon unleashes a moderate discharge of lightning! - weak to moderate flares
  • As the blow lands, the feras weapon unleashes a small shock of lightning! - weak flares
  • With a brilliant flash, the feras weapon crumbles into worthless fragments! - The feras weapon no longer exists.

Example

Player1 leaps from hiding to attack!
Player1 slashes with a feras tiger-claw at Player2!
AS: +358 vs DS: +186 with AvD: -31 + d100 roll: +11 = +152
... and hits for 1 point of damage!
Flashy swing!
Player2 is lucky that it only bopped his nose.
*** As the blow lands, the feras tiger-claw unleashes a severe smiting of lightning!
... 50 points of damage!
Powerful blast reduces Player2 to a smoldering pile of ash!

* Player2 drops dead at your feet!

* Player2 was just vaporized!
